The Republican League,

The convention of Republican clubs held
in New York recently was an uncxpcc-ed
and remarkable success; and the large number
OF representative men present, the harmony
and enthusiasm which attended the ,lelibt RI
tons of the convention, promise well for the
future success of the Republican party. De-
spite the efforts to avoid booming any one can
'i'iate for the Presidency. Mr.. B!aine's name
was greeted with hearty cheers, and it was evil
dent that he was the first choice Of a great ma
Jority. if not Of all those present. Jane, F.
Foster, President Of the New York Repnbli-
can Club. was chosen pre,eut of the National

with its annual convention. The object OF
these various representative bodies is to furr-
i>h Il common basis for the orgaiization of
Republican clubs as permanent institutions
throughout the Union.
The leaders of this movement, SAYS the New
\ ork Tribune. have taken il for granted that
there Will ne a representative Republican NAM

all respects of the support of the progressive
elements of American society. They have
also assumed that Il patriotic stand would lie
made by the National Convention on behalf of
American industries and al the great prnci-
pies which have been cmloded in the Rep,llli-
can platforms of recent years. What they have
regarded rs of most urgent necessity is practi-
cal work III advance Of that convention for Sc
curing the election Of the candidate and the
triumph of the principles for which the party
stands. This work they have themselves un-

RESCUE Isle has had her water works testct

Pre>quc Isle has had her water works tested
hy the Chairman of the New England Board
of Underwriters, with view to the reduction
of the rates Of insurance in the village. With
only sixty pounds of water pressure two heavy
streams were thrown perpcndcularly at least
30 feet higher than the highest building in the
business part of the town. The Herald SAYS:
The result of the conference and examine
ton Is that rates of insurance in the district
covered ny the water system have been re-
adjusted and established on il basis at least %
per cent. lower than before and in some cases
considerably more. 1t is estimated that for
every dollar expended by the Fire Corporation
TO secure and maintain the admirable system
of fire defcnses, the citizens will save about
five dollars on the cost of their insurance.
Aside from the feeling of general security and
the knowledge that no such contlagration as
that which ''wiped OUT this village three wears
ago can again occur, it will be seen that our
water works pay, financially speaking.
With the reduction in insurance rates for
Belfast we have reason to expect, there will be
an equal if not greater saving here, while the
reduction in the expense of our fire depart
ment will nearly cover the water rental paid
by the city. Thus, aside from the security
against fire, the comfort convenience and i'll
creased healthfuncss due to an abundant sup
ply of pure water, it will lie seen that the Bel
fast water works must also ''pay financially
speaking"

1t has been shown that In New York and
other States the so-called Prohibitory or third
party is the ally Of the saloons; and IN this
county it is now receiving aid and encourage
ment from the rum organs. Republicans and
temperance men should steer clear of such a
combination, which can only lead to political
ruin and moral degradation.

''Don't you dare to touch that tariff" roars
Mr.. Blaine by cable from his Paris hotel. But
"hiM tarit makes tor arages" is going to be
the American workinsmen's answer to Mr..
Blaine's bullying despatch.
This is the New York Herald run mad Mr..
Blaine did not give any such order concerning
the tariff; but then, the anti Blaine press never
tells the truth about the ablest American of his
day. Nor did Mr.. Blaine ''roar'' by cable: but
no doubt his faintest whisper would sound like
Il roar to the pack of ours yelping at his heels.
And in putting into the mouths of American
working me n the cry, "High tariff makes low
wages" the Herald insults the intelligence Of
American workingmen and presumes upon the
ignorance of its readers. The cry is as false
as the rest of the stock in trade of theCleve-
land press. Facts, figures and experience alike
attest its falsty. A protective tariff builds up
our industries and makes oar worNing people
the best paid in the world; while free trade
would bring about the low scale of wages paid
in the free trade countries of Europe. The
Herald is off its base.
